The Giving of Food

I've noticed lately there is such a weird stigma around food--giving and receiving it. As a picky eater this is my worst nightmare. Giving someone a piece of what you've baked, or giving them a gift of food is great, and a sign that you are thinking of someone and care about them--but to me it's just awkward. I thought of this since a friend of mine tonight made me this cheesy Spanish bread, which was sweet. And it was so hard to eat! But there is a social standard that you have to eat it! If not, you're snubbing them and disrespecting what they've taken time to make. It's such a difficulty!
